1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) results from a lack of oxygen supply to the myocardium, leading to the loss of cardiomyocytes and their replacement with fibrotic scar tissue. This process is closely associated with the development of heart failure. Regenerative medicine has emerged as a promising strategy to enhance treatment outcomes in severe cases of heart failure. This study aimed to evaluate myocardial regeneration after AMI using a biomaterial composed of mononuclear stem cells and human amniotic membrane. A total of 120 Wistar rats were subjected to experimentally induced AMI. On the 7th day post-infarction, rats with an ejection fraction of <50% on echocardiography were randomized into four groups: (1) control; (2) stem cells; (3) amniotic membrane; and (4) amniotic membrane combined with stem cells. On the 30th day, the surviving animals underwent a second echocardiographic evaluation and were subsequently euthanized. The group treated with the combination of amniotic membrane and stem cells showed reduced systolic and diastolic ventricular volumes. Histological analysis revealed that these animals exhibited less fibrosis and a lower percentage of type I collagen. Based on the results of the study, it was concluded that the combination of human amniotic membrane and mononuclear stem cells decreased ventricular volumes and myocardial fibrosis, suggesting more favorable ventricular remodeling in this experimental model.
